I don't see any article.

i also never hold my brake for more than a couple seconds unless im at a complete stop, and i try to reduce speed over distance while people barrel past me to a stop light.
yeah I do that.

The tires were rotated on my 92 this morning.
The nuts were tightened using an air wrench with a "torque stick." The torque sick was rated at 65 ft.-lbs.
I check the lug nut with my torque wrench when I got home.
They were right on the money.

Poor man's brake lines

You can improve the pedal without changing lines by adding a bunch of zip ties wrapped tight around the stock lines, perhaps every 1/2" or so.

Would this have an effect on your SCCA class?

That's got to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard, lol!

Not saying it wouldn't work, maybe it would, it's just hysterical!

Thanks!

I realize its pretty low class, but it reduces the flex in the lines! I wouldn't do it to a classy ride, but maybe it would beat the SCCA rules.

I guess if you wanted to hide it, you could put some shrink wrap tubing over the zipties. :-)))
